Li Ping glanced at her.
Something felt very off; her tone suggested she genuinely intended to stay at the Flying Teng Base for a while.
"It would be even better if you could join the Flying Teng Base."
Her staying at the base could only bring benefits, no harm.
"Alright then, prepare a room for me. I'll reluctantly stay for two days."
As she finished speaking, she turned to leave.
It was as if she were the boss and he were the subordinate.
The two returned to the office. Zhong Yang stood motionlessly, while the other two paced anxiously.
Seeing her return, the two immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Qian flashed a faint smile and said, "The supplies have been exchanged. Due to Boss Li's enthusiastic invitation, we'll stay at the Flying Teng Base for two days."
Mei Yue Bai's eyes flickered, but she didn't reply. Master Xi Xi definitely had her reasons; otherwise, she would have already gone to help Pei Yuan collect supplies and wouldn't waste time here.
Liu Hao Guang was anxious.
"Miss Xu, I can't explain to the base."
Her tone was cool and detached, "Zhong Yang will stay here to protect me. You go back and tell Boss Mo that I'll be back after staying here for two days."
Liu Hao Guang still felt uneasy. Why stay in this shabby place? Wouldn't it be better to go back?
Zhong Yang, uncharacteristically, spoke up, "Hao Guang, I will protect Miss Xu well."
Liu Hao Guang looked at Mei Yue Bai with pleading eyes. This is your girlfriend, can you bear to leave her in such a dreadful place?
Mei Yue Bai's expression remained unchanged, not even a glance in his direction.
Fine, it seemed he was the only one opposed.
"Alright then, Miss Xu, I'll go back to report first. Please return as soon as possible, otherwise Boss Mo will worry too."
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow. Their Boss Mo would only worry about his gasoline, not her, a tool.
"Go ahead."
Li Ping watched them with amusement. So, it wasn't pre-arranged; Xu Qian just wanted to stay here.
Soon, the three were assigned to a communal dormitory, which was dilapidated.
Inside were iron bunk beds, with four beds in each room, capable of housing eight people.
The rooms were empty, not even blankets. Outside were small balconies and toilets.
Mei Yue Bai frowned. This place was too dirty.
Xu Qian and Zhong Yang remained unfazed. Those who have suffered can live anywhere; this place was still considered decent.
With a thought, a pile of cleaning supplies appeared on the floor.
"Let's do a simple cleaning. We'll be staying for a few days."
Zhong Yang voluntarily took out a rag and began cleaning. He was always discreet. Boss Mo had instructed them to protect Xu Qian and safely retrieve the supplies; he had no right to question whatever Xu Qian did.
Mei Yue Bai pulled Xu Qian aside.
"What's going on?"
"Li Ping has something I want. Once I get it, we'll leave."
Mei Yue Bai frowned. This Li Ping clearly looked like a dangerous individual. Taking something from him would be like plucking hairs from a tiger.
The reason Xu Qian was approaching Li Ping was not important to him. Everyone had secrets, and he had them too.
What mattered was her safety.
"Li Ping is too dangerous. I'm not at ease."
A faint smile graced her beautiful features. "Don't worry. I've tested him. He can't even beat me. He's just a showy fighter."
Mei Yue Bai sighed, embraced her, and held her tightly.
"I don't care why you want to approach him, but you must be careful. Your life is my top priority."
"Mm... I know."
So clingy.
